Aaa Members Save Big On Insurance

Because people who are willing to pay to belong to an auto club are statistically more safety minded, insurance bought through AAA is less costly. The difference will more than pay for your membership. Plus you can use your membership card to get discounts at many stores, restaurants, etc.

You also can check with your insurance company as you can sign up for this same program at almost half the price. Check around and see what works for you! Now that we have the GPS and maps on line, this may be a tad overpriced! AAA also offer movie passes and discount park coupons. Check it out! I am a member!

But it also pays to shop around. I've been a member of AAA for years but I called 5 or 6 different insurance companies for quotes and AAA was twice as expensive as any of the others! (I've never had an accident or ticket)

I am also a member but I don't use much of their other services

Always ask about discounts

If you are over 50 or if you are a member of AAA or AARP, ask if discounts are available. Also ask if you can get professional discounts for products related to your profession. I just switched to a new insurance company, and found out if I had gone through AAA I would have gotten a discount.

MORE INFORMATION:
Examples: Barnes & Noble used to offer discounts on all books to teachers (needed to present a recent pay stub to qualify.) Not sure if they still do. My city offered discounted TIX for Teachers for many entertainment events. Sally's beauty supplies offered discounts for seniors.

Credit unions

We've been members of a credit union for 5 yrs and are just now realizing how many extras it offers other than good rates on loans. Discounts on rental cars, free travelers checks, free life insurance, etc. We just opened up Christmas and vacation accounts that are great ways to save for big things!

Paying bills

I have trouble saving money for my car insurance and I hated paying the extra fee for paying it in installments. I opened a "side" savings account at my credit union titled "Insurance." I am only allowed to take money out of that account for my car insurance! I found it makes my life so much easier!
